Business report
1. Brief
You are a CSR consultant and you have been asked to write 1,000 word
Business Sustainability Report for the Sunselect Property Group in which you
make recommendations on how to improve the sustainable practices of the
company.
Sunselect Property Group (SPG)* is an established and successful property developer based
in Sydney, NSW. The company has been developing commercial and residential properties
for over 50 years, but it has not kept pace with developments in sustainable building and its
reputation is suffering as a result.
In an effort to improve its CSR profile, the company is working on a low-rise, high-density
housing project called ‘The Greenfields Development’. This is aimed at providing affordable,
energy efficient housing that promotes sustainable living.
The CEO of SPG is drafting a proposal for the council, outlining areas on which the
development can focus in order to achieve its objective.
You are required to prepare a business report for SPG which gives recommendations on
sustainable practices for the project. In particular, the report should focus on:
1. Energy efficiency
2. Water consumption and management
3. Waste management
